The announcement came one week after Fox News settled a monster defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million over the network’s dissemination of election lies.

[Stunning. Tucker was their top-rated host in prime time and dominated cable news overall. It’s not clear yet why Tucker’s out, either. Did he leave, or did Fox terminate him? Given the stakes involved, this certainly seems linked to the decision to settle the Dominion lawsuit and the upcoming Smartmatic defamation claim, but thus far there aren’t many details. — Ed]
